Arindam Mukherjee didn’t know what Whirlpool was before applying for an internship there.
He said he noticed the circular Whirlpool Corp. logo at a booth set up at the engineering career fair his school was holding. Mukherjee, an aerospace engineering major entering his senior year at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, spoke to a few recruiters from the home appliance maker and agreed to apply for an internship.
“I walked up and started talking to them because I thought it was a cool name,” he said. “The rest is history.”
The fair led to a 12-week stay in Benton Harbor.
